Problem Installing on Jaunty

I am still getting an error on Jaunty x86_64.

Here is the error.

Is there something I can do to manually fix this?

This should have worked if you did:
 $ sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

You can manually fix this with sudo aptitude purge screen-profiles
screen-profiles-extras screen, and then sudo aptitude install screen
byobu byobu-extras

OK so I tried a 'dist-upgrade' and the same error occurs.

Then I tried the manual way you described. I still get errors. Here is the
output:

Hi Dustin,

I got the latest release and still can not install screen. Here is a snippet from the install output:

Setting up screen (4.0.3-11ubuntu4) ...
stat: cannot stat `/usr/bin/screen': No such file or directory
[: 10: -lt: unexpected operator

Any ideas? I can't even use screen now?

RJP-

What is the output of:
 $ ls -alF /usr/bin/screen*

I suspect that your diversion is still in place.

Hope this helps.

RJP-

Okay, yes, as I suspected, you have /usr/bin/screen.real but no
/usr/bin/screen. This means that the diversion was not cleaned up
properly. There was a bad release somewhere in the past couple of
days, that I've since rectified. I think you picked up that one,
unfortunately.

To solve the problem, you can edit /var/lib/dpkg/diversions, and
remove the following 3 contiguous lines:

/usr/bin/screen
/usr/bin/screen.real
screen-profiles

And then you should be able to sudo apt-get install screen again.

That fixed it. Thanks. In fact Byobu now works as well. Thanks.

Thanks, editing the diversions script and doing a purge and re-install has fixed it for me too. Both screen and byobu now work correctly.

Okay, I'll reopen this bug and try to upload something that ensures
that the diversion drop works.
